The loss of a Healing Heart

We lost a good friend this weekend. A hopeless romantic, whose heart balanced proudly on his (always well groomed) sleeve. That heart worked overtime for 46 magical years: loving, laughing, comforting until it finally wore out from sheer excess of love and kindness. This loss will leave an open wound in the heart of his family but also in a global community of friends.

Farewell - safe journey to wherever it is you're going. If we could beg one more favour of your healing heart, it would be to ask you to help those left behind to learn to live without you.

Although the world is so much darker for your passing, it is all the brighter because you have lived.

Cheers,
Ann
